London has much to offer to a foodie, trust us! If you’re visiting the city
for the first time or even the twentieth, you can never have enough of these
ten traditional British delicacies and that you must have whenever in London!
1.
Fish &
Chips
If you say ‘British Food,’ you will be
saying Fish & Chips in the same breath, for sure. This world-famous British
Food must be the list topper on any visitors to London (or even better in
seaside spots such as Brighton, Blackpool and so on). Fish & Chips is simply deep fried fish (cod, haddock or
plaice) served with French Fries. It is traditionally served with boiled or
mashed green peas and garnished with salted vinegar. At times, classic onion
rings come along too.
2.
Hot Cross
Buns
Remember the nursery rhyme, "Hot
Cross Buns. If you don't like it?" Yes, this is the same quintessentially
British spiced buns served at various posh diners too. This traditional and
world-famous dish is best eaten with a
pat of butter. You can enjoy them along with a hot cup of English tea.
3.
Full English
Breakfast
Don't be fooled by the name. A full
English breakfast is actually a full-fledged meal! Traditionally, such a full
breakfast platter includes toasts, sausages, eggs, mashed potatoes, tomatoes,
mushrooms, and also blood pudding. It is a hefty,
traditional, yet usually inexpensive British plate to begin your day in London.
4.
Afternoon
Tea
And after such a filling breakfast,
afternoon tea can't be far behind. Various local to posh tea parlors offers the classic
Afternoon Tea. Again, don't be deceived by the name. This Tea is usually served with classics such as cress
and egg sandwiches, the classic coronation chicken, scones oozing with clotted
cream, pies, sponge cakes and more.
5.
Sunday Roast
The concept of the classical British
Sunday Roast is that traditionally, it's the lavish meal eaten after Sunday
mass. Traditional turkey, beef and other roasts are
served with potatoes, other vegetables, gravy and the famous Yorkshire
pudding.
6.
Yorkshire Pudding
Here's another confusing London food
name. Know that Yorkshire “pudding” is no pudding. Rather, it is a puff pastry! It is
prepared out of flour, eggs, and
milk. Served with delicious gravy, this true blue British dish is often a part of a Sunday
Roast.
7.
Eton Mess
Named after the premium British boy’s
school, Eton Mess is a rather delicious traditional dessert. It is made out of crushed meringue, strawberries and cream all mixed in. There is also a modern Eton mess, which is a classic British treat.
8.
Bangers and
Mash
Bangers are sausages in England, and they are
served with mashed potatoes. Onion rings might be served alongside the
dish too.
9.
Plowman’s Lunch
If you’re in a typical London pub,
order the classic meal called Plowman’s lunch. You’ll be served tasty crusty
bread, some tangy English cheese, probably cheddar, and some tongue-tingling
pickles to go with. Sounds too simplistic
but you must not miss this filling traditional English meal.
1.
Cream Tea
Just as Englishmen are famous for
their tea when in London, you must taste
yet another English classic, the Cream Tea. It is a thoroughly brewed cup of
tea, that is usually served with scones,
cucumber sandwiches, jam and clotted cream.
Every visitor to London craves these
classical beauties again and again. You are also sure to simply drool over them forever once you’ve
tasted these sumptuous delicacies!
